12 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain • 1 night
We packed in from the Top Spur TH to Cairn Basin and beyond for some exploration above the basin. Wildflowers are still quite nice, weather was cooler and refreshing, and most amazing of all, there were NO mosquitoes!!! It was breezy all day Saturday and into the evening unfortunately the clouds stopped moving after sunset and we were fairly socked in overnight so no star- viewing. The wind was gone Sunday and still NO mosquitoes! Thankful for the nice hiking weather and for our first pack trip in July where there were no mosquitoes.
